I will be moving within the next few months to Chile. As many know, it takes me forever to buy a car, since I endlessly compare and rethink everything. At first I was thinking about a GTI, small and fun that I can drive to work every day. Then I realized that they sold Alfas in Chile. I looked at a photo and instantly wanted! The Brera would be the model I would get. I'm asking my European "interwebz friends" to talk me out of it. I'm sure it will be overpriced and lacking in terms of reliability. I need more. Horror stories would be preferred. Talk me into the mre sensible GTI.

I agree, the Brera is very nice looking car. Plus, no true motor-head can live their life without owning an Alfa and experiencing the utter suffering that goes along with it.

And the sugar fountain fairy swore so hard when she came to super-size that stale hope soybean; liiiike a homeless German woman. Who is this super-sizing spirit-crushing femme? And tell her I'll break a tree root up in her shrimp.
Being faster than you thought possible…it feels good. No, screw that—it feels like shotgunning a gallon of adrenaline and chasing it with an all-night orgy aboard a burning Viking boat.

Just go to Top Gear's web site and read up on any Alfa.

Actually, they are just like me. Love the looks, hate everything else.

The Golf R is most likely available in Chile right now.  |

The Golf R is most likely available in Chile right now. Is that the new version of the R32? I did not find it on the local site, so I assume it is not. This car is going to be replacing the Monster, since it seems that riding a bike in Santiago is apparently very dangerous. So I need to replace it with something relatively practical and fun. |

It's the new top-end Golf, but not really an evolution of the R32. It's gone to the same two liter turbo motor that Audi uses in the S3, and with a good bit larger turbo than the GTI has. It's AWD as well, so it's able to harness the 260-270 hp it makes. http://forums.vwvortex.com/forumdisplay.php?1190-Golf-VI-R |
